I had issues with the gears due to panicking and i watched your video on postioning of your hand on the gears and instructor was impressed .. so thank you . Your videos are so imformative and helpful !
Ay man justed passed the driving test the upper comment was mine who commented 1 yr ago I do teach people how to drive car mastery and everything thanks to u zondo
Just started watching your videos! I live in the US but your videos apply to a lot of the roads I drive on. Also a lot of US videos focus too much on the enthusiast part of driving a manual. I commute with a manual so I appreciate your examples in live traffic :)
Thank you Barry. I'm glad you're enjoying all the way from over there. Would you say a lot of people use manual cars for everyday driving where you are?
@@ZONDOdriving Compared to the rest of the country I would say a lot more people use manuals daily where I live. Just wish more driving schools offered it. I had to learn how to drive on an automatic and didn't like it. To me (even in newer economy cars) automatics have a weird throttle response. Sometimes it feels like the accelerator is slipping but really the car's just changing gears. Sorry long response, but channels like yours are why I'm driving a manual a lot smoother compared to when I started, so thanks!
I use neutral as my pivot to get into whatever gear I need. Shift to neutral adjust palm accordingly to the gear I want. Two consistent steps every time
Thanks for the video! It's been a while since I drove a manual, now suddenly I need to switch to a manual car and been struggling alot with smoothness (and also stalling due to panicking 😅). Will try and practice this on the road now 👍 Love from Malaysia
Thank you! I just bought a manual 5th gen Camaro. My first manual. Although I learned in a manual, that was almost 20 years ago and I was so out of practice. It's hard, but nothing beats the experience of driving a stick. It's so much fun and I would not change it for anything!! Your video helps a lot. Thank you so much!!!
These vids on yt on “how to drive a manuel car” is very good and can help new drivers and I think all these “how to drive a manuel car” vids on yt all are petrol and none are diesel So in a diesel you need to add gas when at biting point ? And same with setting off etc Just wondered as I just bought a 2004 Skoda fabia 1.9 tdi turbo diesel engine And I’m used to petrol learnt in one and my first car was a petrol it was a seat Ibiza
@@ZONDOdriving So much. I was thinking about rev matching every time I'm shifting the gears so that it would be smooth like how they taught in UK channels. Glad to see it was about releasing the clutch slowly. They said the more we engage the clutch the more the clutch pad would get worn out. And they said we must release the clutch after revs were reached. I will try your method as it needs the body to learn the pattern. Guys like you make the lives of others better. Thanks again.
Thank you for the tutorial, I have been struggling with a bouncing/jerky car due to releasing the clutch and not holding before applying more gas. I have concerns about that because I have fears it would be deemed bad control to apply lots of gas. Would you be able to confirm whether I would be fine to add more gas to prevent a jerky car even if it’s louder
Hi. When adding gas, if you don't add more than 2000rpm when moving off you should be fine. Any more than that may be a bit excessive. Also, you wouldn't get a fault unless adding too much gas made the car move in a way which you didn't want it to. They might talk to you after the test about Eco driving but generally it's not classed as a driver fault. Hope that helps.
Im driving a Mokka and the pedals are set up so that i have yi lift my foot and leg to move from accelerator to clutch. Ive tried the swivel but its not working. Wondering what car you are driving as it looks better for this
Can somebody explain something to me. I went with a new instructor and he's car is VW Diesel. This is one of the modern cars. Anyways I noticed there was no handbreak and I didn't have to add gas. I just lifted the clutch and it was moving by itself. This is all good but I have come from a petrol car where I had to find the bite and add gas. Also this new car had a hill assist mode where it stopped the car for me.. This is all well and good but I didn't enjoy the experience. I can't explain it but it felt really weird and "fake" like I wasn't in control of the car compared to my other instructors petrol car. I don't know if u should go back to my old instructors car or learn from this new modern car
Some cars are just easier to drive than others. If you can drive your old instructor's car, then you can drive most cars. Diesels have more torque so are easier to move off using just the clutch and if it's got an electric handbrake, then it'e even easier because they release themselves when you're at the biting point.
Manual gearboxes will be extinct in 5-10 years (in 1st world countries). They are outdated and pointless (Auto and DCT outperform them already). Great video however for people who want to learn a manual whilst they are still around.
@@mehdih8165 Cool, you do you. However, objectively something like a Porsche PDK is superior to a manual in absolutely every aspect. I guess people still ride horses today, so you can absolutely be having fun with your manual in 20 years.
I recently bought my first car, a manual seat leon. Where I am from it is rare to come across a manual car. 99% of the cars on the road are automatic. manuals unfortunately are going extinct so as my first car, I decided to go for a manual :)

What causes the sound when you use the brakes
I'd like to know to. Been sounding like that since they were new.
Things i have learned: I am really bad at clutch control 😂😂
As long as the car moves 😅
You acting like you know shit, but you're driving on the wrong side of the road 😂

Manual gearbox is the best in terms of realibility. Automatic are not reliable especially CVT.
